To accelerate the pace of change, we have to account for the diverse realities, desires and potential of each region.
People who live and work on the land are best placed to determine a region's future. Unfortunately, we've often dismissed regional wisdom in favour of one-size-fits-all solutions that fail to account for differences between regions.
We take a collaborative, cross-sector approach, grounded in both global best practices and regional realities. We work closely with communities, regions, and innovators to surface the priorities, barriers, and opportunities that shape energy decisions that make sense for each place. By connecting these local perspectives to broader system trends and sharing clear, accessible analysis, we help ensure that planning and policy efforts remain practical, relevant, and responsive.

At the Energy Futures Lab, we see culture-shifting innovation as essential to realizing our vision of a prosperous, inclusive, low-carbon energy system.
